1.) Surprise! The randomness for today has been taken over by the bonus posts I usually post on game day Saturdays in the fall ...
2.) Because ... courtesy of the combination of the BTN and a DVR ... I was able to finally watch the Blue-White Game from April.
3.) Although, thanks to a DVR that's always at capacity, I couldn't record (or watch) it in the old HD, as I prefer to watch sporting events (#firstworldproblems).
4.) Spoiler alert -- we won! To that point, it struck me that the "We ARE ... Penn State" chant is never more *literally* true than during this game each year.
5.) Thanks to the graphic that hit the screen about "key losses" from last year (meaning the players, not the games), I get to say, for one last time, ATTA BOY FICKEN, for making it into the broadcast.
6.) Speaking of those who once played for the blue and white, hello there Matt McGloin, co-announcer for the game, on loan from Oakland for the day.
7.) Also -- hello there surfer dude, I mean freshman quarterback, Tommy Stevens.
8.) AND -- hello there Sandy Barbour, new AD for PSU. Great interview ... good luck on the job!
9.) My favorite part of the telecast (I mean, let's face it ... you don't watch this kind of game for the game) was the interview with the new Penn State Lacrosse coach, who said he'd consider "support from just 1/10 of the football fans" as a good thing (#realisticexpectations)
In closing, there are only 121 days left until the new season starts on Sat Sep 5th! See you then!
SPEAKING OF ATTA BOY FICKEN, GOOD LUCK IN KC!:
